Community Resources
It feels important to us to share any and all resources wether it’s a book, website, dietitian, doctor, therapist etc. We believe holding onto resources is not only selfish but a participation in gatekeeping practices that continue to disenfranchise the marginalized communities that usually need resources the most.
If our Community Resources or our free online Library have been helpful consider donating to our Venmo!
